Where do you want it to go? How do you want to get there?<br /><br /> Missoula BarCamp is a cross-functional interdisciplinary conversation where people come to learn, teach, and to be surprised. By pulling together professionals from the art, change, and technology fields, Missoula BarCamp seeks to amplify the brilliance and beauty of our talented city.<br /><br /> The day’s agenda is generated by conference participants who bring their expertise and/or burning answers or questions to the table to quickly find and connect with those interested in exploring the same topics. Using the revolutionary but proven “unconference” format called Open Space Technology, participants float between session workshops to whichever one provides them a chance to contribute or learn which also results in impromptu hallway discussions and unscheduled workshop topics. The energy and the power that comes from these freedoms make Missoula BarCamp an event best understood by experiencing it.

The sixth annual event will feature keynote speakers like VP of Marketing at the University of Montana and Founder of IdeaMensch, Mario Schulzke.</p><p>This is a rebuilding year for Missoula BarCamp. To rebuild Missoula BarCamp to be self sustaining we are focusing on being Lean this year. We're bringing the cost down to $15 for registrations and likely no t-shirt this year to save money. If we get enough sponsorships by Monday, April 1, 2013 we will be able to do the t-shirt.</p><p>In order to make this a successful event we need the help of sponsors to defray the costs of the event space, insurance, food and drinks as well as for some supplies for the event.</p><p>We'll be turning on registration for the event on Monday. A special thank you to the <a href="http://montanawebmaster.com/" target="_blank">Montana Webmaster Team</a> for working this weekend to update and launch the site. This will be a photo finish this year and the event will be amazing.
